The intense and polemical debate over the legality and morality of
weapons systems to which human cognitive functions are delegated (up
to and including the capacity to select targets and release weapons
without further human intervention) addresses a phenomena which does
not yet exist but which is widely claimed to be emergent. This
groundbreaking collection combines contributions from roboticists,
legal scholars, philosophers and sociologists of science in order to
recast the debate in a manner that clarifies key areas and articulates
questions for future research. The contributors develop insights with
direct policy relevance, including who bears responsibility for
autonomous weapons systems, whether they would violate fundamental
ethical and legal norms, and how to regulate their development. It is
essential reading for those concerned about this emerging phenomenon
and its consequences for the future of humanity.
